I have to say though, I dont think stans doing a bad job. Hes helped sort the place out into a more user friendly place. If he deems something to be offensive that his choice as admin. We all helped put him there. I think maybe gilesy got banned a bit quicker than I might have but thats his choice. Anyhow, your all doing great. Carry on. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

And not that I'd expect him to care about my opinions - but merely because it came up - I agree with you, most of the time. I would never want to be a moderator, it's a thankless task, takes lots of hours, and as I've said many times before, I'm grateful to other people for doing it because it's a job that needs doing. The issue here is that there's a crossover - Stan uses his powers as a moderator to silence or edit people who are saying something about him personally, and that's the wrong side of the line. FFS I get called a nob on average every 5.3 seconds on this forum, doesn't mean I'd go around banning people if I had the chance, you man up and get on with it. My irritation (as I've mentioned many times before, but those threads have probably been auto-deleted by now, pow) is that this once every few months this site has a big thread like this, someone gets banned, something minor gets changed, then the site goes back to resting on its laurels until the next one, it's like it's got a bloody menstrual cycle. It irritates me because it could be better with relatively little work. Other than when Stan gets all jumpy, I have no qualms with him or his moderation whatsoever. His political views, maybe - but I don't see why that should be relevant to him being a mod. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

That way, at least you can all fight amongst yourselves and I'll just watch knowing that there is no fault on my part. Is that what you all want, mods who disappear into the background like Police in unmarked cars unseen until you speed past one, or would you like us to join in with the rest of the forum? It's your call. Wind your neck in Stan, just take Gilesy off the naughty step and throttle back on the drama and we'll all rub along just fine. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

But the forum is his 'Bat and Ball' and he'll take it home whenever he feels he ain't winning the game. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Yeah? well tell that to the irate queue of drivers behind me! Stan, I am slightly offended by being called a f**kwit, so can you do something about this please? Many thanks. |

Ok, well thanks for the support from the majority. I do put a lot of hours in here to try and get the job done as effectively as possible, however I'm not perfect and I will make correct and incorrect judgements from time to time. I'm only human. Gilesy will back before you know it, I only gave him a short time out. I don't agree about misuse of powers, just because the spoofs involved me. I'll openly admit I literally cried with laughter when Owain launched that avatar and I laughed when Gilesy posted the picture. To me they are funny, and if I wasn't in the position I'm in I would happily of backed them, leaving someone else to make the decision whether or not they are inappropriate. However, I am that 'someone' who has to make the decisions and on this occasion I deemed it a better judgement to remove them. I know many don't agree, but when making these decisions, you're on your own and you need to make a judgement call fast and make sure it achieves the desired outcome. I am just like all you guys, I come here wanting to help others out technically and also keep the place tidy whilst at the same time have a bloody good laugh, I'm not here just to lay the rules down, in fact it's the one thing I hate doing. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

That is annoying. I almost get angry when people do that. But like a true englishman, I just roll over and let them carry withit so not to upset them so chose not to overtake in an aggressive manner upto the legal speed limit according to the appropriatly sized signs.________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |
